Kratom Kwestions

So, I ordered some Kratom the other day while I was really baked, and now I do not know if I should take it. I got 2g 15x extract, and a gram of some shit called Gold Reserve and another of something called Isolate. What should I expect if I take any of these, and how much? Is it any good?

Don't know about the Gold Reserve and it sounds like the isolate could be more potent than the extract (dunno?). About 6-8 grams of leaf is usually good though so I'd suggest starting with a small amount of the extract. Do the math and it works out to about a half gram of that.
If it's good you'll probably like it.

i ate 3 grams of 15:1 extract one night and didnt notice any effect other then being tired. also have another friend who tried some once and he didnt feel it either.
although one friend claims it works. maybe it works for some people and not for others, i dont know.
oh and one other note, 15:1 extract does not mean that for every gram of weight it equals 15g of leaf, just incase you dont know. most say that extracts are only twice the potency of the same amount of leaf.
so that 3 grams of 15:1 extract i ate was more like 6g of leaf or so.

A fat Tbsp of powdered bali leaf is usually optimal for me
Edit: not too fat or you will be immobilized with waves of nausea

I have utilized this herb in standard powdered form, it's completely legal where I am.
First few times I took a very small amount to see what a guan.
Nice, almost like the smaller amount you took the better the "buzz", just a subtle high really. I guess I necked about an 1/8 of a table spoon each time. But then I went silly and took 3/4 of a table spoon of powder and the sedative effects took over. I felt drained of energy, stoned and could hardly keep my eyes open, and spent a lot of time vomiting, about 3 hours. It is a stimulant at low dose and sedative at high dose.
i did try it again after but it turned my stomach over, probably psychosomatic effects from previously having too much and puking.

Yeah I've always tooken it for it's sedative properties, not much you can do but lay in bed and listen to music if you want to avoid nausea. Nice subtle opiate-ish feeling with some closed-eye visuals (a type of half awake dream that you wake up from... Maybe this is what people refer to as nodding off?)

2 grams of the 15x extract is usually cool for me for a few hours. it seems like kratom is hit or miss with ppl. either it's gonna do it for u or it won't. hopefully it does. it's very relaxing but also very energizing for me. almost exactly like hydrocodone but without the itch

Wow, thank you all for the information. I think I will start with the 15x and go from there. The other stuff is more potent apparently.
